Dynamic Range Control settings – DAB

Dynamic Range Control (also known as DRC) can make quieter 

sounds easier to hear when your radio is used in a noisy 
environment.
1. Press and hold the Power button to switch on your radio.
2.  Press and hold the Menu button to enter the DAB setting menu.
3.  Press the Tuning Up/Down buttons until the display shows “DRC 

Value”.

4.  Press and release the Select button to enter the setting.

5.  Press the Tuning Up/Down buttons to select the required DRC 

setting (the default is 0).

  DRC 0 – DRC is switched off, Broadcast DRC will be ignored.
  DRC 1 – DRC is set as sent by broadcaster.
  DRC 1/2 – DRC level is set to 1/2 that sent by broadcaster.

6.  Press and release the Select button to confirm the setting. The 

display will return to normal tuning mode.

Note:

Not all DAB broadcasts are able to use the DRC function. If the 

broadcast does not support DRC, then the DRC setting in the 
radio will have no effect.

Prune stations – DAB 

Over time, some DAB services may stop broadcasting, or may 
change location and then not be able to receive a station. In 
order to remove such stations from the DAB station list, the Prune 
stations function will delete the DAB stations from your station list 
that can no longer be received.
Stations which cannot be found or which have not been received 

for a very long time are shown in the station list with a question 

mark.
1. Press and hold the 

Power 

button to switch on your radio.

2. Press the Band button until the DAB mode is selected.
3. Press and hold the Menu button to enter the DAB menu setting. 
4.  Press the Tuning up/down button until ‘Prune’ appears on the 

display. Press the Select button to enter the setting.

5.  Press the Tuning up/down button to highlight ‘Yes’. Press the 

Select button to cause the stations list to be pruned, eliminating 
unavailable stations.

6.  If you do not wish to prune stations highlight ‘No’ in step 5 and 

then press and release the Select button. The display will revert 
back to the previous display.

Note: 

If you have moved to a different part of the country you should 
also carry out a search for new stations (please see the section 
‘Finding new stations’ in previous section).
